Question

multiple choice question
the dermis of the skin is made of _______, which is composed of thick, randomly organized fibers that sustain multi - directional tension.
o stratified squamous epithelium
o areolar connective tissue
o dense regular connective tissue
o dense irregular connective tissue

Explanation:

Dense irregular connective tissue has thick, randomly - organized fibers that can withstand multi - directional tension. The dermis of the skin is made of this type of tissue. Stratified squamous epithelium is for protection in areas like the skin surface but not the main tissue of the dermis. Areolar connective tissue is more loosely arranged. Dense regular connective tissue has fibers arranged in parallel.

Answer:

dense irregular connective tissue
